Brendan Gallagher - 'Wine Island'

Wine Island is Brendan Gallagher's love letter to the rich assortment of musical styles that first inspired him. He's taken elements from these different styles, mixed them up in his quirky way and recorded them beautifully. It's a love letter that took decades to write and it's all the better for those rich years of experience it spent simmering in his musical brain.

love this airy, pianoy sorta stuff, like slow miles davis or something, reminds me of how my mother told me, after quiting pinao lessons at around 10 or 11 after my second grading, that I would regret quiting one day....she was right, if I had of not quit, I would have had over a quarter of a century of experience under my belt, and thus be like a virtuaoso compared to what I am now, just some average guitarist who used to be able to read music, who can't anymore and never regained that skill he lost when he was 11'ish years old :(
